This is an impressive solid piece of furniture. I initially had ordered something similar and similarly priced from Amazon, but sent it back because of the cheap workmanship. When this lamp came, I did not have high expectations. But after seeing the quality, heavyweight sections and the large lampshade, I started to feel better about the purchase, and put it together in record time. Everything fit together perfectly and was expertly engineered and tooled with clear, easy to follow illustrations.   I am so impressed by this one piece that I will order more items from Joss & Main in hopes of seeing the same level of quality and workmanship.
